POPTRY. THE EMIGkANT: A. TOEM. INSCEIEED TO THE CHEVALIER DE B-;...DE. On the broad margin of the flood recluM, • An Emigrant, to pensive thought re'ign'd, Watch'd the proud billowi, bieaking at his feet, W4tch'd the hoarse wave In sullen pride retreat ; . And listen'd lo the wind. The Western sky, in gay elrulgence drcss'd, Receiv'd'the Sun, declining to its rest, Whose length'ning ray touch'd many a passing sail ; 'Britannia's Pennants floated on the gale : Pain piere'd the Stranger's breast, For as the beam shot the bread waves askance, It struck the white, opposing Cliffs off ranee "My Country cry'd the Patriot—" I mourn, " o France thy, breast with wild convulsions torn • " Thy woes, my woes enhance • " For thee I foUght, till anarchy eiisu'd, " And fertile plains with civil blood cinbrn!cl.; " Till the proud Viitor seiz'd thy flawing reins :—. " Then, fure'd to flee, or wear the tontrror's chains, " My adverse fate pursu'd." cast en the Beach, he tit} his tearful eyes; CootLding passions in his breastarise He muurn'u his Country's Woes; he mouro'cl his own ; Ua his desponding mind no comfort Shone; - He heav'd heart:rending sighs. His griefs I wept, in sympathizing mood,. %Valli; still unnotic'd, on the shore I stood: I3'etorv. me, suddenly, thick mists arise ! c.ewy exhalations feath the skies, And skim along the flood : The mists dissolv'd: bnght as the solar stare • Brir..nnia rose triumphant, in her Car In azure. vest was dress'd the heav'rily Maid i While on their conchs attendant Tritons play'd ; And Sea-gods came from tar. The grand Procession moving tow'rds the land ; Se'a-nymphs and Tritons throng the busy strand ; Britannia quits her tow'ring trophitd seat; The Emigrant, surpris'd, regains his feet ; The Genius takes his hand: " Why mourns my Friend ? Arm'd in thy Country's cause, " See Albion ready to assert her laws: See (she exclaim'd) her nunerous streamers By ! " See her brave Sons*, prepard . for her' to die, " Or gain Fame's loud applause " See, from her Ports+, her num'rous Transports sail " See their proud canvas catch the prosp'rous gale 1 " Soon on thy Land her Heroes shall descend, " Her Liberty, her Laws, her Rights detend, " And glorious Conquest hail !" She spoke. More brightly beam'd declining day A brighter Form skimm:tl o'er the liquid way I Soon the fair Vision toueh'd the shingled Strand: Soon by Great Albion's Geniui took her stand Around her meteors play. High was her forehead ; loosely flow'd ker hair .White was her vestment, and her bosoni bare; 44er sparkling eyes energic warmth inspir'd; bold inspiration ev'ry action , _ And glow'd throughout hergir. ErruostAsm, her name: " See Britain's Heroes stem the surging tide ; •' Her num'rous Transports skint the main! " Her Sons shall fight, nor fight in vain ! " Their arms'shall win renown ! 4 ` Conquest their Cause shall crown ! . " France shall see " The Despot flee, " And British Valour own! 4 "Tis done !" she cry'd : " All Europe shall aspire " To Deeds, its States admire; " Shall scourge the Land " With flaming Brand, " And make the Tyrant's Bands retire! " The BD U R BON Race shall re-ascend the Throne, " And British Courage, British Friendship own ! " Then Peace her Olive Branch shall wave " Then, glorious Fame shall crown the Brave ! " Fair, white-rob'd Virtue grace this Isle I " And Worth obtain of Heav'n its fay'ring smile !" She paus'd—Britannia led her to the Car— lanc'd o'er the waves, quick as the shooting star. The Emigrant, with gratitude inspied, Th.: awful, pleasing Prophecy admir'd; Resign'd the grand Event to Heav'e's Sov'reign Lord, Vet hop'd his Sword of vengeance Was the British Sword.

Nothing can e%ceed the promise_ of the harvest in every part of this country ; the late very warm wea ther, while it has given an opportunity for sav ing the most abundant crop of hay we can remember, has advanced the early corn to maturity some weeks earlier than usual. His Grace the Lord Lieutenant and suite left town 6n Wednesday, for Lord de Blaquiere's beautiful seat in Westmeath. A meeting of the Members of the Menai Pitt Club was held at the Sportman's Inn, Carnarvon, on the 13th July, to testify their veneration for the memory, and their determination to support the po litical principles of the Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT. The meeting was nurnerOus anct highly respectable ; attended by persons of the first rank, wealth, and talents in the counties of Carnarvon and Anglesea.— Among others, the following declaration was signed : " That were there, in our opinion, any defeats in the British Constitution, which required reform, those Gentlemen, who were stated in the public pa pers to have been delegated by the said counties, at the Crown and Anchor, for that purpose, would n be the persons we should fix upon." tiltP REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY.—IcLY 3T MORRIS V. Cott( Ltig. The disputes about the management of the Hay market Theatre, again catiie before the Court this day, and Sir S. ROMILLY, on the part of the Plaintiff, said, he hid in his hand an affidavit, stating the de tritnent arising toithe Theatre, from iVii. Colthan having thought fit to withdraw frormrepresentatFon an atterpiece of his, which had contributed to fill the house.. While that piece was peritirmed, the re 7 ceipts bf it's house had fiuduated from a 601: to 1901. , a night, and on the withdrawal they:fell so low as 131. and thereabouts. Mr. HART said, his client, Mr. Colman, was ready to contend that the reduaion in the teceipta had been gradual. The piece 'in question had sloneas much as could be expected $ for; .according to theatrical language, it had• a run of nineteen nights, and Mr. Coimaa very voperly resolved to give. the performers some respite, and prevent the farce from becoming.threadbaro, by withdrawing it. • The LORD CIIANCELLPR said,le would again re'- commend it to both the Parties to go before a Mas ter, for the purpose of. duawing ,out new articles of agreement. If they chose to accede to this, he would then give direaions to the Master Ito that effect, founded on the cirdurnstratee of the Plaintiff being :part proprietor of the Thr.Tatre., EX PARTE THE COVERZHJES OF BEUTON.SCHOOL; The free grammar schn6l of Bruton, in Devonshire, was founded and endowed by Edward VI. The pre sent schoolmaster, Mr. Cousens, was chosen by the Governors in 1799, with" an income of 01. and on the ground of neglea Ot duty they now prayed,hiS removal by the Chancellor, as Visitor of Public Charities. • Mr. RICHARDS produced various affidavits of,. the GoVernors, charging the Master with tollowing.tl4 occupation of a farmer, going to m3eket, selling cattle, converting partot the play -ground into a fartn yard, and in that negleCting his proper business of an instruct or of youth. • Mr. HOLLPT, on the. pag of Mr. ,Cousens, read an adiddvit, in which he specifically denied those Charges, or that he was chargeable with any dere liction of duty. The fact was, that there was not now a single. Schol4r on .the foundation, and the case bad been nearly the same for fifty years before Cousens became the Master. And : tlidue the Charter of Edward VI. had ordered that rules fiould be drawn up by Governors for the regulation of the school, yet the fact was, that no such rules had been drawn up, till the present Governors thought tit. io draw up twenty-four articles to that effect, a little .before they resolved on dismissing the De.. fendant. Neither had these regulations been yet .confirmed by- the Bishop of tite Diocese, as the' Charter required. The LORD CHANCELLOR here interfered, observ ing that it'Would be quite premature for him to de cide upon the removal of the present Master, or. to order another to be chosen, when no regtilations had : 7 been framed .and confirmed according to the terms ' of the Charter. .It was certainly a singular circum- . stance, that articles for the government and regula tion of the school, which ought to have been framed in the.reign of Edward VI; should now remain to be drawn up in that .ot• George HI. He was now to understand, that the rules agreed upori by the Go vernor were before the. Bishop Bath and Wells, and he should take an opportunity of speaking to his Lordship on . the subje&. There having been no written regulations for the government of the school, the present charges could not be considered as very specific;; and between the affidavits of the Governors, and the answer of the Master, how was it pbssible for him to judge whether the latter Gentle Man went to Wincaitton Market to sell a pig, or- to buy one for, his own dinner. The Governor had complained that the play-ground was encroached upon by a 6ttle shed ; yet it must be allowed, there was still room enough left for all the scholars. - 1 Mr. RICHARDS said, that the Governors were perfectly willing to wait for the confirmation of the articles by the Bishop of the Diocese. Their only wish was to make the charity useful, partcu lady as it had lately become opulent by the . fall.‘ ing in of an old lease. • HINTON V. DREWE. Mr. HORNE prayed the appointment of a - receiver of the rents and profits of certain real and personal estates, under the following circumstances :—John Cutler, an infant, had become entitled to certain real and personal property, and had been married at at the age of 20 by special license, without pro clarnation of banns, and having only the consent of Drove, the executor of the will under which he inherited. John Cutler, the infant, died before reaching the age of twenty-one, leaving the, feittale who alleged site was his wife, with child, and claiming her share of the personal property, and the real property for -her child. What be now, prayed for was, the appointment of a receiver of the rents and profits, till the validity of the marriage was inquired into.—Receiver appointed. YORK ASSIZES. THE KING V. HENTIG.- , THE KING V. CROFT. .__ We are requested to correct an erroneous state ment which has appeared in many of the London and Provincial Papers, as to the settlement of these causes. It was no part of the arrangement which took place between the parties, that a letter of apo logy should be written by either of the Defendants, nor was any such letter written, neither did the De fendants meet. On the Ist of August was published, the Eighth Number of Ackerman's Repository of Arts, with two extra plates,' and ten pages of letter=press be yond the usual quantity ; so that it contains this month, eight Engravings, five of which are colour ed, and 78 pages of the most interesting letter-wess, for no more than four shillings. The extra enib'ef lishments are, a most interesting and well executed Portrait of the Archduke CHARLES, and a beautiful Engraving from the Design for the Honorary Me dals offered for the best Essays; a feature by which the Repository is distinguished from all other peri. °dicta works. TI.E . DUPCII PAPER,t PROCLAMATION Or , THE LANDDROOST (MOH $11E. , 4 RIFF) OP THE DEPARTMENT*OF MAASLAND, TO TELE BLIROIIERS OF ROTTERDAM There being considerable disturbances which have unhappily taken place fOr some days past in this department, occasioned by a nutnber of boyS belong-. itig to the Orphan Hospital for the 'reception of chil dren of the reformed Protestant Burghers having vo lunteered to go to Utrecht, conformably to an inVi l tation in the name of his Majesty the King of Hol land, to be placed in the ,Royal Military Academy there; and the circumstance, of taking these young people by force frotn their condudors has induced his Majesty to direct me to address you, in order to - guard against, and put a stop to these commo tions, to restore tranquility and good order by a due obedience to the commands of his Majesty, and to preServe the respectability and authority of the Go vernment. His Majesty has particularly directed me, after I shall have published these his commands, 'to declare to you in the most solemn manner, the great interest which he takes in the welfareand'prosperity of this respectable city, and the safety of its inha bitants, with the most perfe& assurance that his Majesty, very far from attributing the disturbances :and illegal opposition to the good and brave Citizens, imputes it only to a wicked and restless disposition among those who, by their wicked machinations, have rendered themselves obnoxious to the laws, and .wish to oppose a measure 'which the circutn stances orthe times have rendered necessary: His Majesty trusts and requires that the sword of justice punish those who 6ball be convicted at pro motingthese riots and excesses; and in order that such may be the case for the future, hii Majesty de sires that his orders be made public respecting the calling eut of the youth belonging to the churches and charitable foundations, above i 6 years of age, and who aretiftor military sergice. His Majesty might have expected very different conduct, from a convic tion that he had recourse to the ineasure of appoint ing the orphans to military service on principles of general interest both to,the kingdom and this city, in the tranquility and propriety of which le has the greatest interest. " _ _ This measure, that has been unavoidable, is and can on'y be opposed by such abandoned, persons as wish to see either a military conscription or a fo reign army introduced into this kingdom. It ,can only be. opposed by them who have been, stirred up or bribed - by your enemies to disturb the public peace, and ruin the country. How can a well•dis. posed and enlightened Dutchrnan, who has the good ot his country at heart, consider a measure as preju dicial which is calculated to put this country in a condition to defend itself. We are surrounded on all skies by a military conscriptibn. It exists alinost even on Dutch ground, having been introduced to the Archdukedoin of Berg, .and notwithstanding his Majesty, before the eyes of Europe and of the na tion, has declared that be considers-it as an improper and pernicious system to be introduckl into this coun try, being repugnant to the spirit of the nation, and ruinous to the kingdom itself : how, then, can a sea, sible or judicious citizen oppose the appointment of youths brought up on public charity to military ser vice, which is the only means of preventing the ne cessity of introducing a foreign army into the coun try ? The circumstances of Europe are now such that a levy out of the country has been. rendered impraai cable ; and besides what is an army .of foreigners in comparison of children who belong to the country, and have necessarily. an interest in it; and should we be obliged unfortunately to admit a foreign army into the country, as no state can now exist without an army, what will become of the liberty and political existence of this country ? The King, who only aims at the happiness and prosperity of the country, should then consider himself obliged to abandon a throne which his Majesty has alone ascepdeki with a view, to save the country from total mini, and with a con- Niaion that the nation was worthy of his affedion and care. What then, Citizens ! is more reasonable and just, than that, in order to prevent a conscription, those youths who have been educated and supported at the expellee of ihe Stale, or by ,the funds of gene ral. charity, should learn to know their duly; and Should even be convinced, that, by yielding a willing obedience to the invitation of his M.rjesty, and en tering upon the noble career of arms, they display their gratitude' to the country for the benefits they .have -.enjoyed. His Majesty, occupie i d by such paternal sentiments, wishes, expeas, and orders, that the youths thus privileged above others should learn to know and fulfil his summons, and their duty ; that they, instruded both as to the one and the other, give voluntary obedience and effea to the equitable claims of his Majesty. . . As Governor of this dist - rict; it becomes me to see obedience given to. their paternal admonitions, and that the most considerable personages of this city, and its Magistrates be •occupied with the same object which is, that the youth destined for this service may voluntarily, and without the compulsion of necessity, yield obedience to a measure which is for the general good. His Majesty cannot but be highly satisfied with this submission ; and it is a noble feeling for his bene vOlent heart, that no necessity has existed for calling in the military force at my disposal; which should not he had recourse to till all the means of persua sion had been tried in vain, and the consequences of which could not fail to prove highly pernicious to this city, to this department, and to the whole king dom. The city of Rotterdam, by the voluntary concession of their orphans, has set an example to the enrolthent. Persuasion and mild reasoning have been employed, and have had an influence on their good hearts;which was hardly to belexpeaed. Others, who lie under the same obligations have deviated from them. When properly expostulated with, they will doubt lesS return to their duty. For this purpose, measures must be taken ; the utility and necessity of the plan having been laid before the good burghers and inha— bitants of this city, the Perfed finds himself bound to prevent unexpee.ted disobedience ; and, it will be their business, to persuade to a dutiful, conformity ; to exhort those youths who have ,absented them selves from the public or any other•. hospital, and if necessary, to order them to . return, and to fulfil their • ~ duties ; and paNicularlyt6 absent themsz-lves Trnm the . Iteformed Burgher - Orphan It ouse, and4A her places of chality, that they return Within the space or three days after the pta6licatioa ot",titii Order; and this under such pains and penal ties as by the 'lag's cif . the kingdouvare inflikled on disturbers of the public peace, and on disobedience to the orders of the Constituted Authorities. or under such.oiher penalties as his Majesty shall be pleased to order to that effea, and this not only with regard to such persons as encourage and harbour :these youths, but also with re.ped to the 'yoUths them selves, who shall endeavotir to evade the' Royal Summons. .• (Signed) Rotterdam, July 99. G. G. HuurmAN KING ROBERT BRUCE'S BIRTII-DAY; The anniversary of the birth-day of King Robert 'Brace,was, 'as formerly, celebrated on the If th of last month, at the ruins Of his castle at Lochinahwai The company was numerous, and included alinog the whole gentlemen ,of the surrounding diStria of Annandale, besides several from Dumfries . and the -adjoining parts of Nithsdale. ,The different parties on the hike having brought to land a profusion of fish, of a description found ia no other known lake, the company sat down to 'their Pic .Nic, composing a dinner seldom equalled for abundance, variety, and delicacies. On the close of this part of the feast, William Stewart, .11,sq. of Eillhead, who was in the Chair, delighted the com pany with an elegant culogium on the life and cha-:- radler, heroic deeds, and personal :las of va- Jour performed by King Robert, during the nine years preceding the glorious cieory which secured to his country and posterity their liberty and inde pendence. In the grateful enthusiasm of the meet ing, the memory of the Hero was drunk.with three times three, and peals of huzzas echoed from :the. same walls that lodged him the tuorning on - winds he performed the bold deed that led to his possession of the Crown. The next toast was—The legal Heir and Repre sentativeof Robert Bruce, as well as of other innu -merable and immortal Heroes.—The 'Sovereign _of the present day, our venerable and beloved King, long may he live, and maintain, as he has done, ,thg laws, religiOn, and constitutional rights Of . his p5O - The cup of gratitude was also filled to 11) 0 . other heroes who contributed sp 'conspicuously to recover ands. establish the independence of their country- 7 010 chief- of whom were, Sir Witiiato .Wallace, -Sir John the Graham, and Sir Joba Stewart, of Ronhill, who fell by that renowned Fs triot's. side—Uor were they. forgotten, the great Douglas and Randulph Murray, who commanded under Robert at the celebrated battle of Bannock burn, the lasting / happy effeas of which arc: felt by those born in' the land of Cakes at this day.--Several of the descendants of these illustrious charaolers,hee„ ing present, added to the enthusiasm with which :their memories were drunk. • The similarity of those times to :the.presenta ,when several of the States and Kingdoms of-Europo are.struggling to recover their constitutional, privi leges from the grasp of the greatest.tyrant, and rots" ber of the.rigAits of mankind ever recer,led in his tory, was felt by every individual of the meeting, who drank the Patriots of Sp2ip,_,Port-u434.1,--(3,,rtita-. ny, and the whole'Cootitient'; and may t h e ..ika;" triau armies, guided by the prudence, and led' by Ilia valour of Prince Charles, Wing the contest in which they are engaged to a close, as signal as its com mencement. The train of feelings to Which this . last toast gave rise, was heightened by the cele brated song of " Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled.., given in exquisite taste by Mr. Francis Henderson, along with several other songs con posed for the 'o&* cason. The company, satisfied with the propriety of thiS anniversary testival, resolved to continue it ; and 1.4 this purpose they nominated a Coin mittee of seven Gentlemen present to conduct the business . against the ensuing year. Mr. Stewart's health was then dunk, and the thanks of the meeting were voted to him for his pw lite and able conduct While in the Chair. , The Theatre at Southend is under the manage' ment of CHAPMAN, of Covent-Garden Theatre, wil° has been tolerably succesful from the.opening of the season.
